If I try to restart named I get the following after a Ctl-c because it fails

That line starts the following:
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};
I'm not sure now, where that entry came from. I didn't put it in there
consciously, but, there it is - I guess it is choking on the period, but my
first read of man named.conf doesn't tell me anything. I'm not sure where to
look next.
There's nothing wrong with the `zone "." ...' part; the error message
means that you left a semicolon off the end of whatever configuration
element is immediately before that in the named.conf file.
